One of the best things about planting your own garden is creating your own little garden-to-table experience—though sometimes we get a little more bounty than planned! Especially when it comes to those beloved little cherry tomatoes.
As a result, you can be at a loss on what to do with the excess, and the idea of waste is heart wrenching. With that, I’ve put together an extensive collection of recipes with cherry tomatoes that will help you use up your harvest, and fast.
